Steve Gilbertson retiring

Steve Gilbertson retiring

For those of you who don't know Steve, he's the guy who designed the Gilbertson PVC and Gilwood nestboxes, and the conduit/rebar pole mounting system. Well, he's retiring - he's selling his last 250 PVC boxes, so if you want one, better get an order in.

Steve is one of the greatest Bluebirders alive today, and I'm more than a little sad that he won't be making boxes anymore. But he's done this for a long time, and he wants to move on to other things.

"Bye, Bye Miss American Pie, drove my......." Sorry, that song just popped into my head.

Aww. I loved his Gilwoods!!! Thanks for informing us.Those Bluebirds Across Nebraska modified Gilwoods are a little more expensive this year aren't they? Maybe it just doesn't include shipping anymore, which is understandable. It's still reasonable though.

I'm glad I just bought one then, Fred. Do Dees and TUTIs use the Gilbertson box, too? Since putting it up last week I haven't noticed any birds checking it out. I haven't been sitting on my porch as much as usual, though, and that's where I can see it.

I wouldn't mind one of the Gilbertson boxes, I know I have seen enough Dees photos in them, it seems. I am so glad I had a hubby that could make the Gilwood boxes for me, have six of them up. I do like the Xboxes now though and he was involved with that one too, isn't it on his site too now. I think that is where I was reading about it after I got the plans from you Fred and my husband made the boxes.
